  • suckonweewee ******** rei (@suckonweewee) reported

    @EPhantoon Honestly online games just ******* suck for me. For Honor, Overwatch, DBFZ, CoD, everything man. Always gotta be the shitters that have to play broken **** to win

  • sweetener_mochi Moonlight⁷ in the box🃏 (@sweetener_mochi) reported

    @PlayOverwatch can you fix the overwatch 2 servers? it’s not letting us connect into the game

  • BlackHeartz99 🖤🤴🏽T.J. Sims (ترلفيس)🤍🥀 (@BlackHeartz99) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have an issue on my Xbox series s where in the Overwatch 2 beta, playing frame rate mode will bug out my controller and not function.

  • NotGambino Gambino (@NotGambino) reported

    reality is, if you think "live service game" is a bad thing, you probably have no actual knowledge of what that means you probably think its bad because people parrot it as a pejorative Apex FF XIV League Overwatch CS:GO Destiny name a game you like. its probably live service

  • GustyGamez MS_Gusty (@GustyGamez) reported

    @op_tuna I do use an ethernet. Idk when its started happening but ever since we got a new router ive been tping and lagging hard in overwatch only. Now that my family is out of town I can restart the router to see if it will work but other than that idk.

  • OrionQc27 High Sorcerer Chad 🏳️‍🌈 (@OrionQc27) reported

    @Bloodhunt @Masokista93 I ran into the same issue. This really should be a priority (Fortnite, Overwatch, Smite, Dbd, etc) all support crossplay

  • SpaceBird24392 SpaceBird (@SpaceBird24392) reported

    but the model works for consistent content updates, part of the reason Overwatch 2 is going to be the same. Even if we look at EA specifically, their current Free To Play Live Service is Apex Legends... which speaks for itself. Its massive. /3

  • FisiannaLuvalle Fisianna Luvalle (@FisiannaLuvalle) reported

    They switched to Apex because Towa couldn't connect back to Overwatch 2 (on top of ping issues). Ame and Mumei offered to switch to the Tokyo server, but Towa declined and said to stay on the USA servers. Truly TMT.

  • ThisIsBing007 BingalingDaDream (@ThisIsBing007) reported from Holly Hill, Florida

    Keep this in mind I do not mind live service games. I'm excited that Overwatch 2's PVP comes out first as F2P and the PVE launches later. It's all about history. We already have that expectation with OW2. Skate is one of the few games associated with EA that is respected.

  • Veilynne Veilynne (@Veilynne) reported

    The Overwatch devs have such a cringe ******' knee-jerk reaction when a broken hero falls out of the meta. Zen isn't viable for the first time in years, make him the most disgusting hero in the game. Rebuff Brig, rebuff Orisa, keep spamming buffs on Cass, rebuff Widow. So cringe.

    @PlayOverwatch Hello im here for overwatch 2 my email is empty I joined beta overwatch 2 and i can’t find it and im ps4 please fix it

  • GuiltyAng3L яια - 夢 (@GuiltyAng3L) reported

    @Monzter13Gaming Overwatch is filled with people like this. And they're mostly immature teenagers with major ******* mental issues. They feed off of other people who are like them so it will always get worse and worse.

    They switched to Apex because Towa couldn't connect back to Overwatch 2 (on top of ping issues). Ame and Mumei offered to switch to the Tokyo server, but Towa declined and to stay on the USA servers. Truly TMT.

    Unpopular Opinions: -NBA 2K is not the problem bro, it’s you -DragonBall Super is #1. Z is #2 -Peak Overwatch was during the “5 Man Rez” stage

  • SpaceBird24392 SpaceBird (@SpaceBird24392) reported

    The announcement of Skate 4 being a F2P Live Service, not long after Blizzard saying Overwatch 2 is gonna be the same, has had a momentum of "Wow, ruined game", from the larger game community, which im beginning to find annoying and ripe in ignorance to this business model. /1

  • Neordinary deviations (@Neordinary) reported

    bnet fix ngeban IP gw karena bru pake vpn bisa login.... well guess im officially not playing overwatch anymore. What a ride.

  • TheComixKid KC Walsh (@TheComixKid) reported

    @LaboratorioHyde @UpToTASK They are already showing signs of at least government overwatch and there is nothing to say that peoples perceptions can’t change, but the X-men and mutants have always been an allegory for race, rights and social issues, which they show in Ms Marvel they can still accomplish

    @Blizzard_Ent @PlayOverwatch @OverwatchEU WILL YOU PLEASE FIX SYMMETRA IN OVERWATCH 2. FFS P L E A S E. SHES L I T E r A L L Y UNPLAYABLE ASH SHE IS. SHES LITERALLY THE WEAKEST HERO IN OVERWATCH 2 AND ITS YOUR FAULT JESUS H CHRIST

  • nerdaskew Dawn ✨Majority W.I.P ✨ (@nerdaskew) reported

    I am having trouble transitioning to Overwatch 2. It should be fun with the reworks to eliminate cc and break, but just isn’t. They’ve traded shields for labyrinth level design with too many twists and turns. But the designs feel unnecessarily large and super exploitable. (1/2)

  • SamuraiAFK Samurai (@SamuraiAFK) reported

    @BlizzardCS I try to login into Overwatch and Overwatch 2 Beta and don't let me. Even the web page show me an error. It's my account, my internet or your server?

  • britonros britonro @ Read Gunnerkrigg, Do It (@britonros) reported

    @Vulkiveir @Zephyroh Big streamer who’s kind of a **** and used to be an overwatch pro. He’s not really that big of an issue but there’s a running trend where he gets beaten by vtubers- Selen’s beaten him twice now and Vox once

  • TanTanReloaded Tannoro🍡Book Aficionado📓#BLM (@TanTanReloaded) reported

    @KARMAENVY @infamous33333 @KeremOR9 You are so hung up on Overwatch. Literally all you're talking about is the game being balanced poorly or SBMM not being implemented well. People getting good at the game is not the problem here

  • Spoo_Kay kay! (@Spoo_Kay) reported

    As a former overwatch player you couldn’t pay me money to play that **** show of a game from the community to the broken *** heroes you fail to fix.

  • ScuffedMcjagger ScuffedMcjagger (@ScuffedMcjagger) reported

    @Gan3shG @DigitalStormPC @IntelGaming in which Bestbuy (BB) got it fixed (the gpu) is still showing those black little issues on the left of the screen while trying to game on overwatch or im sure anytthing more intensive than a moba or something.. the ram wasnt even faulty it was the SSD causing issues.

  • Arsynyst_ Arsynyst (@Arsynyst_) reported

    Might as well cancel Overwatch 2 if supports are gonna keep getting buffs while tanks keep getting nerfs. Tanks already feel unfun again and supports are getting more broken.

  • wolfgeek64 Zipgun (@wolfgeek64) reported

    @Mangaminx Overwatch porn has always seemed to be a good indicator on how healthy the game is. If there's a lot of porn, then it's doing well. If there isn't then we have problems.

  • Starborn_XIV Dumb Bunny 🐇 (@Starborn_XIV) reported

    Someone told me to kill myself and a egirl told me my name sounds like a ****** name people on overwatch have issues like instead of blaming others worry about your own gameplay

  • Rajeoflyfe1 Rajeoflyfe (@Rajeoflyfe1) reported

    anyone have opinions on Overwatch 2 yet? I'm seeing a lot of potential but age of problems... characters that were disgustingly OP in OW 1 are still disgustingly OP, cheese gamers still make it a bit cringy, not many new characters as of yet

  • ineffablepair ste 🥂🏴‍☠️ (@ineffablepair) reported

    @tbcsuperman Hi, I experienced this while playing Genshin Impact and Overwatch (the latter crashes instantly when I start playing). Did you manage to solve the problem?
